Perhaps your use of Erlang has made you curious about other functional
programming languages? Perhaps you are faced with having to understand
and interface with other languages in your work? Or perhaps you just
want to learn something new? This track lets you widen your horizons
and delve into things non-Erlang.

Actors and Vectors: Meeting Half Way On The Bridge to Pure FP. Confessions of an Object"holic" Dave Thomas

Ever since Mnesia entered the scene in 1995, Erlang has been a language for the most discriminating database hackers. With CouchDB, Scalaris and Riak, Erlang is now on the forefront of the NoSQL wave - the biggest revolution in the database world since E.F. Codd invented the Relational Model.

As Erlang's popularity grows, it keeps breaking into new niches and
companies not previously associated with the language. In this track we
get to listen to the experiences of users better known for their
association with other technologies rather than Erlang.

Erlang-based test automation has been used in commercial products - not
least Erlang/OTP itself - for more than a decade, and research on
Erlang and model checking has gone on for almost as long. This track
covers test-driven development ranging from hands-on practical
industrial experience to the latest news from the research front.

Fueled by the new and more open development model for Erlang/OTP, there is increasing activity to extend Erlang into new application areas, new hardware configurations, and new language environments. This track presents some of these extensions, and discusses how to manage the evolution of the language.

Perhaps your use of Erlang has made you curious about other functional
programming languages? Perhaps you are faced with having to understand
and interface with other languages in your work? Or perhaps you just
want to learn something new? This track lets you widen your horizons
and delve into things non-Erlang.
